Clive Barker: Son of Celluloid

Clive Barker brought his signature blend of horror and dark fantasy to Eclipse Comics with Son of Celluloid, a single-issue series from 1991. Co-written by Barker and Steve Niles, and illustrated by Les Edwards, the story expands on a character from Barker’s The Book of Blood, exploring a sentient, malevolent force born from the silver screen. This brief but potent entry stands as a key artifact of Barker’s early comics work, capturing his cinematic dread in a graphic medium.
